You're Out, Daddy novel (Natasha and Kenneth)

Chapter 1025 Witness With Me

After leaving, Thalia drove the car, with Anthony and Benjamin sitting in the back.

Not long after, Anthony, who was looking outside, suddenly spoke up. “Stop the car.”

Thalia stopped the car and looked back at him. “What's wrong?”

Anthony went straight to open the car door. “Let's go eat something.”

Thalia was confounded.

Seeing that Anthony had gone out the door, Thalia turned to Benjamin.

“Aren't you hungry? Tony is worried you won't be able to hold up. Let's go,” he said, and with that, he too got out of the car.

Thalia grinned as she stared at the boys.

Inside the restaurant, Thalia and the boys sat facing each other, with the waiter standing by their side.

Thalia looked at the menu and, after ordering several dishes, she turned to the waiter and said, “That's all for now.”

The waiter nodded and walked away directly.

At that moment, Thalia looked at Anthony. “This meal, you're treating me, right?”

Clearly taken aback by her question, Anthony furrowed his brows slightly. “What do you mean?”

“Since you brought me here, shouldn't you be treating me?” Thalia asked.

Of course, what Thalia cared about was not the issue of money, but the feeling of being cared for by Anthony. If he were to treat her at that moment, it would be even more perfect.

Anthony certainly understood her meaning, but at that moment, he teased her playfully, “To think you're shameless enough to say that.”

“Why should I feel embarrassed? You're not broke, and besides, your business is thriving and you earn more than I do. What's there for me to be embarrassed about?” Thalia retorted.

Anthony nodded. “All right. When it's time to pay, if you're comfortable with it, I don't mind doing it.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia immediately responded with a smile. “Don't worry. I'll definitely have no qualms about it.”

Anthony rolled her eyes, then picked up the glass of water in front of him and took a sip.

Before long, the waiter served the food.

Looking at the table brimming with food, Benjamin furrowed his brows. “Can you finish all of this?”

“You aren't going to eat?” she asked in return.

“We've had our fill at the base,” Benjamin said.

Thalia raised her eyebrow slightly. “All right then, if that's the case, I'll just eat it myself.”

Just as she was about to start eating, Anthony on the side also picked up his knife and fork and began to eat. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing him start to eat, Thalia looked up. “Really? Are you going to overstuff your stomach because you're the one paying?”

Anthony casually shot her a glance. “I'm still hungry.”

“Huh?”

At that moment, Benjamin, who was sitting nearby, nodded in agreement. “That's right. My brother was too busy arguing with Kyle to eat much.”

Hearing that, Thalia laughed. “You scared me. I thought you were going to stuff yourself to death.”

Anthony couldn't be bothered to respond to her.

At that point, after having something to eat, Thalia wasn't as hungry anymore, and thus, she calmed down.

Staring at the boys, she asked, “How did your conversation with Kyle go today?”

Anthony pursed his lips, pondering how to describe it with a word.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Thalia turned her gaze to Benjamin, who then said, “It's less of a communication and more like a bloody battle.”

Upon hearing that, Thalia frowned. “Is it really that terrible?”

“Very much so.”

“Who won?”

Benjamin's gaze turned toward Anthony.

Thalia immediately understood and couldn't help but say, “Impressive! Kyle is famously known for challenging everything, even himself. Yet, you managed to outdo him? Impressive indeed!”

Anthony spoke impassively. “Just standard procedure.”

Thalia was speechless.

Staring at Anthony's confident demeanor, Thalia sometimes wanted to peel back his exterior to see what was contained within his core.

After some thought, Thalia narrowed her eyes and asked, “Anthony, do you know what I thought of you when we first met?”

Anthony looked at her, not saying a word, but his eyes were filled with anticipation for what she would say next.

“When I first met you, I wondered why you were acting mature and cool. I figured a good couple of smacks on your behind after pulling down your pants would set you straight!” said Thalia.

Upon hearing those words, Anthony blushed, narrowing his eyes.

An image immediately surfaced in his mind.

Listening from the side, Benjamin couldn't help but burst into laughter.

That was the only thing that made him laugh in the past few days.

Upon hearing the sound, Anthony turned his head to look at Benjamin. “What are you laughing at? Don't forget, we're pretty much the same.”

Seeing the situation, Thalia immediately spoke up. “No, no, no, I've never had this impulse toward Benjamin, only you.”

“Thalia!” Anthony warned.

Thalia began to laugh. As she ate, her appetite grew better.

Anthony glanced at her directly, then ignored her.

Anthony was someone who valued both strength and pride. Even though he was still young, Thalia was genuinely afraid that he might get angry if she teased him.

Thus, she changed the subject. “All right, All right, let's not talk about this. Let's discuss something more serious. How was your chat with Kyle today?”

Even if she didn't participate in the conversation, she knew what they would talk about.

Anthony pursed his lips, fell silent for a moment, then spoke. “Everything that needed to be said. has been said. Everything that needed to be discussed has been discussed.”

“What's the outcome and conclusion?” Thalia asked.

“If there was a conclusion, it would mean that the issue has been resolved, and I wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore,” said Anthony.

Listening to that, Thalia realized that even though there was a hint of criticism toward her in those words, she couldn't help but agree with him.

“Indeed.” She nodded in agreement.

“However...” Anthony looked at her. “I'm even more certain about something today.”

“What's the matter?” Thalia asked while eating.

“The person who killed Holden's girlfriend is not Daddy,” he said.

Upon hearing that, Thalia knitted her brows. “How can you be so sure?”

“Firstly, Kyle said that after the incident, he went to check the surveillance footage to see what happened. However, when he did, he realized the surveillance footage was destroyed after the event that day.”

“It was destroyed?” asked Thalia.

“That's correct.”

Thalia frowned. “This doesn't seem like Kenneth's style.”

“You think so, too?” Anthony immediately asked.

Thalia pondered for a moment, then continued, “Yes. During the time I've been in contact with your dad, even though I still believe he's not good enough for your mom, there's one thing I'm sure of. He's bold enough to do something and take responsibility for the consequences. He won't resort to these petty tricks.”

Upon hearing that, Anthony seemed to have found a kindred spirit. “Right?”

Seeing the gleam in Anthony's eyes, Thalia was afraid he would misunderstand. Hence, she immediately said, “However, this doesn't necessarily mean it has nothing to do with your father. Perhaps he's trying to hide something? Just based on this, the reasoning isn't sufficient.”

Anthony looked at her, his gaze growing more intense. “There's a second piece of evidence to prove it.”

“What?”

“I need you to witness this matter with me,” Anthony said to her, enunciating each word carefully.

With Thalia present, Kyle would not question the outcome.
